Hi Simon,
Firstly it is a matter of understanding what spin is coming back to you. Take a look at our video on Spin Reversal Misnomer. This shows you the type of spin that you can expect. We also have a tutorial on Help Against a Chopper with Long Pimples which might also help.
Then try to play against it was much as possible to get the feel of the spins. It is different to playing against inverted rubber so it does take a bit of time to get used to. Remember you can dictate the type of spin that you are getting to a certain extent.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher
Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
